Problems with rootcint_tmp in Debian Sarge

Hi,

I am trying to install ROOT 3.10.02 on my system (Debian Sarge):

uname -a

Linux 2.6.6 #1 Fri Jul 2 09:07:39 GMT-3 2004 i686 GNU/Linux

gcc --version

gcc (GCC) 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-3)
Copyright © 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO

After running “configure linux” successfully, make fails. The problem is that the failure is not always in the same place, but is always caused by bad G__*.cxx files (generated by rootcint_tmp). For instance, in my last trial the error was:

gui/src/G__Gui2.cxx:12096: error: parse error before `}’ token

Line 12096 of G__Gui2.cxx is:

static int G__G__Gui2_272_5_1(G__value *result7}

what obviosly wrong.

I think there is some problem with my system installation, but to find it I need to know what could cause rootcint_tmp to fail when generating files.

Thanks,

Sergio

I do not understand why, but I solved it by using “make -j 1”. For some unknow reason, make thinks I have more than one processor…
